NIER AUTOMATA - Platinum Speedrun

How to get the ALL trophies in under 3 hours, this is a FULL platinum walkthrough.

---- Brief steps to compliment the video ----
- Step 1 -
Begin on easy and turn the Auto-Chips on when asked. Make your way through the prologue until you reach the 1st boss after leaving the ship. After defeating it, stand in between the 6 barrels nearby, then hold R2 and press Up, Down, Up, Right, Left, Square, Circle, Triangle, Cross. When asked to save, choose yes and choose NOT TO say something to others.

- Step 2 -
Use Chapter select and load Ch. 10-05_1 to get the trophy ONE BATTLE ENDS. Chapter select again and now load Ch. 10-05_2 and follow the objectives to pop A NEW BATTLE BEGINS (save your game after both endings).

- Step 3 -
Now load Ch. 11-02, loot the chest and then head to the Resistance Camp. Sell certain items at the camp and then buy the Auto-Collect chip from Pop & Dev and equip. Now complete the current mission by hacking the required enemies, but hack ALL 6 required enemies, the 6th isn't required to complete the mission, but is required for this guide. Once done, loot the 2nd chest and warp to the Bunker.

- Step 4 -
Farm the 4 x Chips+6 in the Bunker until you can sell for 100,000 (always keep best chip, lowest slot). Then buy ALL storage upgrades from dude up in the terminal. Now continue farming until you have enough to sell for 200,000, you NEED to keep your best Hijack Boost, Stun and Combust chips.

- Step 5 -
Load Ch. 13-02, then go to Emil's first spawn spot and buy Overlock+3, Anti-Chain Damage+3 and Auto-Heal+3. Now warp to the Resistance Camp and keep save/reloading until Emil appears near the Camp. Once he does, buy Weapon Attack Up+6 x 4 and Exp Gain Up+6 x 2 from him (sometimes his rare shop appears, if so just save/reload again). Once done, equip the Exp Gain Up+6 x 2, Hijack Boost+6, Stun+6 and Combust+6.

- Step 6 -
Now go and hack the robot with the gun arm on the broken highway, make sure he is unaware when you hack him so that you get the Remote Control option. Then while controlling him (he needs to be lv 58+), make your way to the golden bunny and kill it to shoot up to lv 34+. After, sell all unwanted stuff to the park vendor, unequip Exp Gain. Hijack Boost, Stun and Combust, then equip Auto-Heal, Ocerclock, Anti-Chain Damage and any autos/huds you had to unequip earlier.

- Step 7 -
Save and then load Ch. 04-04: 2B, and complete the objectives until you get the WE AWAIT YOUR NEXT VISIT trophy. Now talk to Pascal, then leave/reenter the village and buy Medium Recovery x 50, Melee Attack Up (L) x 50 and Ranged Attack Up (L) x 50.

- Step 8 -
Next save and load Ch. 11-07 and get FINAL WISH trophy. In the cutscenes following, choose to support A2 when asked to get the trophy TREACHEROUS BLADE. Activate the Forest Zone: Center access point, then load Ch. 06-05 and get THE MECHANICAL KINGDOM trophy.

- Step 9 -
Save and warp to the Forest Zone: Center AP, then talk to the Canyon Machine and complete her sidequest to get the FIRST ERRAND trophy and to unlock her shop. Now use her shop to fuse Weapon Attack Up+8 from those WAU+6 x 4 we bought earlier. Equip the WAU+8 chip and your build is ready!!

- Step 10 -
---Save/load Ch. 01-04_1 to get RESUSCITATED BODY.
---Now load Ch. 02-01: 2B to get VESTIGES OF PROSPERITY.
---Next load Ch. 03-04: 2B to get IT'S A HEALTHY BABY BOY.
---Now load Ch. 05-04: 2B to get CREATION AND INSURRECTION.
---Now load Ch. 08-01_1 to get RULER OF THE DEEP.
---Now load Ch. 08-01_2 to get THOSE WHO LOVE HUMANS.
---Now load Ch. 09-03_1 to get IRON SOUL.
---Now load Ch. 09-03_1 to get IRON SOUL.
---Now load Ch. 14-05 to get FAREWELL, PASCAL.
---Now load Ch. 16-04 to get JUSTICE.
---Now load Ch. 16-04 to get CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
---Now load Ch. 17-09, choose A2 when asked and carry on to get BEAUTIFUL WORLD.
---Now load Ch. 17-09 again, but now choose 9S when asked and carry on. Choose to YES for them to survive when asked and during the true ending credits, NEVER choose to give up when asked. At the end of the true credits, you will earn LEAVING FOR THE NEW WORLD and THE MINDS THAT EMERGED.

- Step 11 (final) -
Now load Ch. 13-01 and save your game once you spawn in, but NEVER overwrite, this is your ORIGINAL save. Now sell EVERYTHING except the OS CHIP and then save in each of the remaining 2 slots (don't overwrite that 1st original save you just made). Then talk with ball-sack head (Strange Resistance Woman), choose 'Request unlocking you know-what' and then buy what trophies you can (buying trophies auto-saves on your current slot). Afterwards, load the OTHER save you just made where everything was sold (NOT original). Once you spawn in back with all your money, overwrite the other slot which you just purchased the trophies on and then just repeat these last few steps until you have ALL the trophies!

Well done on your hard-earned platinum xD!!
